The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

As he spoke, he looked toward the northwest coastline with a serious gaze.

That is the direction of Wanren Mountain.

Epilogue) Prophecy (Part 2)

"Pioneer" Steel Airship - Dragon Vein River Basin

"..."

On the deserted bridge, Mikhail sat quietly on a steel throne with his eyes closed.

Every high-level steel airship has a similar display - this is the commander's position, symbolizing the supreme power bestowed by Wanren Mountain and the will of the Iron Lord.

The wantonly wrapped bandages outlined the contours of the Iron Lord's upper body, and his rugged muscles were jumping even when he was resting, like a hibernating bear in the Wanren Mountains during the winter, exuding an aura that made people stay away.

No one on the bridge dared to make too much noise, for fear of alarming the beast, especially after he had just suffered his first defeat.

But Mikhail didn't seem to be very angry. His back rose and fell like a mountain, and his sculpture-like face was filled with calmness.

"..."

After a long time, the Iron Lord opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him——

——It was Venia Irenforno, he walked to the throne and bowed his head to signal:

"Father."

"..."

Mikhail looked at Venia, who was dressed as a general in front of him, with a cold look in his black pupils.

After watching quietly for a few seconds, he spoke in a hoarse and low voice:

"You have grown up (Thebitten)."

Hearing what Mikhail said, Venia's pupils trembled slightly and his fists clenched a little:

"Thank you for your recognition (Thebite)."

Mikhail nodded, then raised his head and looked at Venia at eye level:

"Angela Stroh's whereabouts?"

"Not yet," Venia reported in an unnatural voice, "He should have been captured by the Oathbreaker Evans Monak... He should be in the hands of the Dila people now."

"Well," Mikhail nodded, "from now on, you will lead the First Legion of Thebite."

"I will teach you all the ways of a lord so that you can become the successor."

After hearing these two sentences, Venia's expression froze, as if he was a little overwhelmed by the sudden change of topic.

He spent several seconds chewing it over and over again, and then he spoke tremblingly:

"Father?"

"Our enemies are right when they say that my vision is so broad that I overlook countless details (Thebit)."

Mikhail's voice was low, and his dark eyes stared straight at Venia.

"We will rebuild the Legion, and this time, I will guide you and become the second brain of Thebite."

"But...but..." Venia's mouth twitched, "I...I don't know I..."

"You just haven't reached your potential yet," Mikhail said without question. "You are my son."

"......"

When the word "son" came out of Mikhail's mouth, Venia's expression became completely dull, as if he was dreaming.

He looked at Mikhail as if he were a stranger - this was nothing like the father he was familiar with.

The father he was familiar with was always strategizing, ruthless, and used everything as a bargaining chip and a tool.

The father he was familiar with seldom called him by his name, seldom referred to him as "son", and even seldom spoke to him.

The gap was so huge that Venia's mind went blank all of a sudden.

"..."

However, when Venia came back to his senses, he saw the familiar cold light in Mikhail's eyes:

"It's all about unity, right (Thebit)?"

His tone was a little weak and hesitant, like a puppy that might be abandoned by its owner at any time, staring eagerly at the man in front of him who was as tall as a mountain.

"Ah."

Mikhail nodded, hesitated for a moment, and added:

"And so that you can get back on track, my child (Thebitten)."

After saying this, he stood up from his throne and opened his arms towards Venia, motioning him to come forward.

This action was like some kind of violent impact, directly hitting Venia's heart, making his expression suddenly become distorted.

He was like a child who had finally gained recognition from adults, with tears welling up from the corners of his eyes and sliding down his cheeks.

"I...I will try my best...Father..."

Venya walked forward, hugged Mikhail, and sobbed.

He kept shaking, not like an adult man at all. More like a child who was forgiven by an adult after doing something wrong.

"..."

Mikhail looked at his son in his arms, then turned his head again and looked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, at the ice and snow that was gradually covering the sky and the earth.

The territory of Wanren Mountain is right before our eyes.

This snow-covered mountain gave birth to our ancestors who rose up in the wind and snow, and created the hottest steel nation.

No matter how many times we fail, this spirit will always be passed on.

Forever...

"bass--"

A sharp pain came from his abdomen, Mikhail's eyes narrowed, and all the muscles in his body seemed to be frozen.

He lowered his head in disbelief, and met those eyes that were sparkling with tears and fire:

"A second brain? Ha, I won't believe even a word you say again..."

Venia Irenfono was thrusting a golden blade deep into Mikhail's abdomen. His hand was shaking, but his strength was increasing...

"......"

The numbness spread through his muscles like poison. Mikhail's mouth trembled slightly, and then his brows knitted tightly.

"you..."

"I've had enough of your shadow, schemer," Venia gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you think I will honestly listen to your deceptive words and continue to be your tool? Don't even think about it... It's absolutely impossible..."

"You're a loser... Your time is over... It's over! Thebite is mine! Mine!"

"..."

Venia buried the tip of the knife fiercely into Mikhail's rock-like muscles, feeling the increasingly heavy breathing of the father in front of him, but his anger did not subside in the slightest.

In an instant, countless unprecedented lights flashed in Mikhail's black eyes, but gradually dissipated and became empty and lifeless.

He slowly knelt on the ground, his muscles became stiff, only his dark eyes still had a last ray of light:

"Wei...Wenia..."

"thump."

The huge man fell to the ground, his head tilted to look towards the huge glass window of the bridge, and the snowy scene of Wanren Mountain was reflected in his eyes for the last time.

Then, his eyes became empty and lifeless, reflecting the view of the Wanren Mountain that he would never see again, like a glass wall.

"..."

Venia looked at his father lying on the ground breathlessly, his breathing becoming heavier and his expression becoming more and more collapsed.

This was the first time he killed someone personally.

The deceased was Mikhail Irenfono.

He stabbed his own father to death.

"Ah...ah ah..."

Venia hugged his head, squatted beside Mikhail's body like a collapsed body, and made strange noises from his mouth.

At this moment, an elegant voice with a hint of irony came from behind him:

"Stand up so I can see the new king of Thebeth ascend the throne (Wilkin's words)."

Venia turned his head sharply and found that everyone on the bridge had been killed at the same time when he buried the dagger in Mikhail's abdomen.

In the open space among the corpses, a man in golden armor was standing there in a wanton manner, staring at him with red-gold eyes.

Aloi Aziz, Prince of Wilkin.

"Don't worry. The poison on that dagger is enough to kill the entire population of a city. Even the Iron Lord has no chance of survival."

He smiled gracefully, extended his hand toward Venia, his sharp face looking down at him.

Venia was stunned for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and stood up with the help of Aloi.

"Is the plan...going well?" Venia's voice was a little weak.

"It went very smoothly," Aloi said with a smile, "Well, let me see the new Iron Lord."

Hearing the title of "Iron Lord", Venia's hesitant expression was dispelled for a moment, and a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

Then he stood up, stepped over Mikhail's body lying in front of the throne, and slowly sat on the throne.

“This… this feels good…”

Venia's hands kept stroking the armrests of the throne, and gradually, a smile broke out on his face.

He immediately stepped on Mikhail's body, his dark eyes cold:

"You asked for it, you know that? You liar... you pathetic loser..."

Then, he looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bridge, overlooking the approaching Wanren Mountain and the icy territory from high above.

His territory.

"Can you have your people pass the message for me, Prince Aloi?"

Venia turned his head and looked at the smiling Wilkins, and a hint of joy gradually appeared in his voice:

"Help me spread the word...Peth Monarch murdered my father, their lord (Thebite)..."

"From now on... seize Monarch's house and execute all the family members (Thebite)..."

"This is an order from the Iron Lord."

Epilogue) Prophecy (Part 3)

On the bridge of the "Blue Reef", Perlis took out the Black Island route map obtained from the ruins of the shipwreck and carefully looked at the various nodes on it.

The deep sea rift starting from the Misty Strait... goes straight to the East Ocean. The starting point of this route is the spring below the town of Ankamouth. If you want to enter from the sea, you need to...

"..."

Perlis took out the [Black Emblem] from her pocket, gently held it tightly, and felt the dark power flowing through her body.

Her eyes briefly turned a deep black, so dark that she could see the cracks beneath the ocean—

"there."

Perlis stretched out her hand and pointed the direction for Furukawato to go.

"From there, the Blue Reef can dive into deep sea crevices and make its way to Black Island."

Hearing this, Furukawa Wataru nodded and instructed Gleason beside him:
